Here are close ups of Elm Ext pavement and Elm Ext Sidewalk. (due to "misfiring" camera)
Neither appear to be in new condition or freshly layed.
Could one section have been poured on 20-21st as part of curb and gutter or sidewalk repair not readily visible... sure, of course.



I looked at weather for 21st, it was cool but well above the 55° threshhold for needing curing blankets. About the same for 20th -14th (7 days)



But it did have light rain, a possible reason for protecting fresh crete. Tarp to avoid pock marks in fresh pours?

Long before I sold, stocked and used concrete blankets, they were made of burlap. Burlap retains moisture, and adds some minor thermal barrier.
Modern world uses reflective, foam filled, poly "padded" blankets.

Is the guy carring a burlap blanket or a coat?

Cheers, Ed

Most widely used for burlap sacks to sell food items.(coffee, beans, etc)
In the 50's thats the curing blanket material of choice (only choice).



Then they added poly to one side.

Then later they made them from all poly, woven, with reflective surface on one side (keeps heat in) and black on top (absorbs heat from sun)



I've handled thousands of these.
Sold, bought, rented... the rented ones come back with chunks missing, stuck to the sidewalk.

There is the controversy over the 'bullet scar' on a section across from TSBD, and it was said to have a "hankerchief or bandana" from a worker impregnated into the sidewalk that just gives the appearance of a bullet mark.
It was studied by fbi lab(?) and said to be fabric,.. yeah, its old burlap fibers stuck in the concrete.

Greg when was it your pop was pouring/finishing concrete? 50's or 60's
Got any photos of him tarping walks?
Thats the best evidence, historically.

Best evidence here is Barricades for Vehicular Traffic, a coat over a mans arm, trash, and pics of older concrete.

Ed.Ledoux wrote:Yes, just nothing looks new.
Its got painted curbs stenciled No Parking, so those are old.
The sidewalk where barricades are haphazardly placed isnt fresh in any photo, even pics taken by accident, or purposely to end/start a roll and pointed at the concrete. Sections edges are chipped at expansion joints, its dirty, got gum or stain on it, fitting with older pour. (not ancient, just not fresh)

I am assuming the barricades have zero connection to do with concrete or repairs of any surface on Elm Ext. and the traffic barricades were utilised to block Elm Ext for the P. parade.
Most obviously to block the width of Houston, from which these two were borrowed, for two lanes of Elm Ext.

The little yellow sign and light is for no loading zone near the corner where it is affixed.

Might have better luck finding a Cuban flag than city of Dallas fixing up Dealey Plaza.
That happens 'after' the 22nd.

Cheers, Ed

Two floors, of offices, two dark headers like First Floor and Second Floor.
At first glance it resembled a sandwhich board...
Yes sir Lee was going to parade around with Viva Fidel plastered on a sign.
Screw the flag!
